Stevie Nicks interviews for SGN Pride Music edition

Stand back, because we've got the Bella Donna herself - not all to ourselves, but kind of.

Legendary rock queen Stevie Nicks is a special guest in our upcoming Pride Music issue on June 24. The Fleetwood Mac frontwoman and acclaimed solo artist, who performed at Key Arena a month ago, is one of the closest-followed divas in the country and around the world by Gay men. As both a songwriter and distinct vocalist, songs like 'Sara,' 'Dreams,' 'Edge of Seventeen,' 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You,' and 'Gypsy' are true pop classics that hold their own to this day. In fact, the Emmy-winning show Glee dedicated an entire second season episode to the nostalgic Rumours album.

Nicks spoke with select media this week by teleconference, a rarity given that she grants a very limited number of interviews. So you can find out what we asked Nicks, and what other questions she responded to, on June 24.

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
